Maharaja Express is the latest addition in the fleet of luxury trains in India. This is the only luxury train in India which will take the guests on a pan Indian odyssey onboard a regal abode. Maharajas' Express, dubbed as India’s equivalent to the Orient Express of Europe, is a joint venture between Cox and Kings and Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation. With passenger capacity of only 88, the Maharaja Express train offers an unforgettable ride with kaleidoscopic view of the landscape through its panoramic window and deluxe carriages with contemporary amenities.

The Maharaja Express is a luxury train operated on the Indian Railways from early 2010. It is a joint venture between Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation and the travel agency Cox and Kings India Ltd. The all-inclusive costs begin at $800 (£535 or INR 40000)per person per day, and can climb to $2,500 (£1,670 or INR 125000)per person per day.

The Maharaja Express trains operate on four itineraries, all of which either begin or end in Delhi and include a visit to the Taj Mahal in Agra. Each morning, the train arrives at a different station for off-rail excursions, including visits to monuments, heritage sites, shopping, palaces, forts, and hotels.

The trains include a 23-guest carriage train, designed to recreate the personal state carriages used by the Maharajas of India. Facilities include two ornate restaurants with decorative arched ceilings, an observation lounge and souvenir shop, and 43 cabins and suites starting at roughly 110 square feet in size.
